Due to the global economic uncertainty and polarization, the problem of unemployment along with a rapid expansion of capitalism has been appearing more today. Youth employment, especially, has been increasing steadily and social enterprise is one of the solutions to this realistic problem. Social entrepreneurship and its pertinent intentions have been the subject of interest in establishing social enterprise. Thus, this study researched the effects of social entrepreneurship on the entrepreneurial intentions. We resulted with four factors of social entrepreneurship such as innovativeness, risk taking, proactiveness and orientation to social values, and that these have significant influences on the entrepreneurial intentions. In addition, a hierarchical analysis method called AHP analysis showed that the four factors had an order of orientation to social values, innovativeness, proactiveness and risk taking. Finally, the study showed that each factor evaluates social enterprises’ priorities in establishment. With the results of the study, there are some limitations as followed: first, the study was conducted using a convenient sampling method. Second, since responses were collected at the different point of the study, there is a time gap among respondents. Third, the study needs improvements through longitudinal study because the cross-sectional study could not rule out the alternative explanations.
